a carbon diet. The average person in the UK has a carbon footprint of 9.4 tonnes.

Experts say that we would all need to reduce our carbon footprint to 2.5 tonnes or
less to prevent dangerous climate change.

The calculator below allows you to calculate the carbon emissions generated by each
area of your life. Take the challenge and see how you fare!
